Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Christine Grahame)

Good morning and welcome to the Justice Committee’s sixth meeting in 2013. I ask everyone to switch off mobile phones and other electronic devices completely, as they interfere with the broadcasting system even when switched to silent. Apologies have been received from David McLetchie.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on whether to take agenda item 5 in private. Is the committee agreed to take that item in private?

No.

One member disagrees, so I suggest that we park the matter until we get to item 5, to allow the Cabinet Secretary for Justice and Mr McConnell, who are here for agenda item 2, to proceed with their evidence.

So we will leave agenda item 1 until before item 5.

Yes. We will put item 1 before item 5 if that is all right.
